Instructional Technology Development

The Quantumedia Virtual Eq. Learning Tool v. 1.0™ - The EQ. LEARNING TOOL ™ is an award winning universal, online and mobile media environment that utilizes real-time interaction and a "Swiss-Army" approach to learning, combining 1.) the QMX-Wiki ®; 2.) the Storyscape ® classroom documentation timeline, and; 3.) the QMX Resource Archives ® for the benefit of enrolled and guest students, academics, technicians and artists. The goal is for not only the founder of the application to create content for students and colleagues, but for the students and colleagues themselves to interact with and contribute to the learning environment, creating a media-educational space that continues to augment itself across time.
